Wrapper for executing scripts from command line with MongoDB.
Place mongoexec in a directory listed in your $PATH environment variable and make it executable, e.g:
sudo wget -O /usr/bin/mongoexec https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pveierland/mongoexec/master/mongoexec
sudo chmod +rx /usr/bin/mongoexec
Place a shebang at the start of the JavaScript file you wish to execute:
#!/usr/bin/mongoexec --quiet
The --quiet represents an optional argument which will be passed to the mongo executable. Positional arguments to the script can be passed on the command line, and will be available as the args array within the script. Keyword arguments to the script can also be passed on the command line and will be available as the given variable name within the script. Values will fall back to be parsed as strings, such that unquoted values can be used on the command line.
$ ./example.js 42 hi "Hello, World!" mykey=myvalue
args=[42,"hi","Hello, World!"]
mykey="myvalue"
